You can only add 1gb per slot Because the mb does not supports a bigger module.
This ram type does come as 1 gb module.
The 667 mhz and 800 mhz is the Mhz speed for the ram module.
Your mainboard supports this but it will only run the current front side bus speed as the mainboard supports.
This means that the new ram will only run 533/400 mhz as the mb supports.

Hope this was helpfull

specs on that board from Intel is 2 gig max. when you install the 2 gig alone does it show you 2 gig in windows or only 1?......with a 2 gig max I would think that would max each slot at 1 gig...

Hi,
Please check the speed in MHZ of old RAM and New 1GB RAM.
Some times if speed wont match this problem occur.
Remove old RAMs and add only 1GB RAM and start the system.

I hope it will help you.

Thanks for using FixYa.

i guess you did not check the compatibility of the RAMs to your MB limitations....
the only solution is to return the RAMs and get the RAMs that is supported by your MB.....

the MB (D102GGC2) can hold only a max of 533 mhz and max of 1GB each in each slot of RAM....
so if you are trying to install one 2GB card of 800 mhz IT WIILL NOT WORK....
get TWO RAM cards of 1GB each (total 2GB) of RAM.... each of 400 mhz....

hope this helps...

I am not able to find a 533 MHz 1GB DDR2 RAM.. Has anyone used a 667MHz 1GB DDR2 on this board D102GGC2 ?
